Shipping policies

Please be sure your address is correct. I ship to the address listed in your Etsy account.

●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●✿●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●

I typically ship within one to three business days although I frequently mail 'same or next day' as I know how nice it is to receive something right away! Shipping times may be extended slightly on occasion. You'll find the current ship time on your receipt.

Purchases are mailed in the order in which they are received. If you choose to upgrade your shipping method to 'Priority Mail', I will do my best to fit your order into my schedule more quickly, while not causing any delay to orders placed before yours. The Priority Mail option available in each listing refers to the USPS class of mail and not necessarily to the speed in which your order will be packed and taken to the post office. My order processing time is one to three business days.

There is no additional charge for 'rush orders', but I do require an upgrade to Priority Mail.

I use the United States Postal Service for all orders. Shipping costs are listed with each item and are combined for multiple item purchases. The price includes delivery confirmation for domestic orders and a minimal amount for packaging and fees. Postage for orders with multiple items sometimes gets over-estimated. I will credit your account for the overage in this instance or, at my discretion, I may choose to upgrade your postage method to Priority thereby getting your order to you a little more quickly.

First Class domestic mail generally arrives in three to five days. Domestic orders weighing 16 ounces or more are mailed via Priority Mail which generally arrives in two to three days, but is not 'guaranteed' to arrive in that time frame.

●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●✿●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: BUYERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPORT FEES AND TAXES.

International First Class Mail, depending on where you're located, can take two to four weeks to arrive. Mail can sometimes get delayed in Customs.

Another option to consider is International Priority Mail. It is more expensive, but includes a reliable tracking number and insurance. Packages typically arrive (for most countries) in six to ten business days (although this estimate is not guaranteed). If you are interested in upgrading your postage to International Priority Mail, please contact me for a quote.

Customs fees are the responsibility of the buyer. I am required to declare the actual value of the order on the customs form. You might wish to take a look at this customs fee calculator to better anticipate possible charges: http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/

Additional policies

SIZE AVAILABILITY: My wool felt is available in a variety of sizes, as shown below. Feel free to contact me via Etsy message to let me know size, color and quantity, and I'd be happy to set up a custom listing.

The CPSIA act was passed August 14, 2008 to ensure toy safety. The aim of the Act is to eliminate lead and pthalates (DEHP, DBP, and BBP) from children's items. All items intended for children must be under 100 ppm lead.

Natural fiber goods are inherently free of lead and the CPSIA recognizes this. In a January 9, 2009 bulletin, the Consumer Product Safety Commission exempted natural fiber goods (wool felt) from the certification process.

However, above and beyond the CPSIA act, my wool felt has been tested and found to be free of lead and heavy metals. This wool felt is in full compliance with the requirements of the CPSIA.

BS EN 71- Article 1: Mechanical and physical properties for the safety of toys:
This is the European standard for the mechanical and physical properties of toys. It outlines requirements and test methods for assessing the associated hazards. The standard belongs to the BS EN 71 series which covers all aspects of toy safety, and provides the required details for compliance with the 2011 EU Toy Safety Directive. Manufacturers using the standard can ensure products are fit for purpose when used as intended.

BS EN 71- Article 2: A European Standard which specifies the categories of flammable materials which are prohibited in all toys, and requirements concerning flammability of certain toys when they are subjected to a small source of ignition.. It is part of the BS EN 71 Series of standards which covers a wide range of toy safety subjects.

BS EN 71 - Article 3: This part of this European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the migration of the elements antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and selenium from toy materials and from parts of toys except materials not accessible.

This wool felt is certified Pure New Wool by the "International Wool Secretariat". It is certified Free of Harmful Substances by Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Test-No 990585, which exceeds the levels of purity required by the CPSC regulations.

The Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is a globally uniform testing and certification system for textile raw materials, intermediate and end products at all stages of production. The tests for harmful substances comprise substances which are prohibited or regulated by law, chemicals which are known to be harmful to health, and parameters which are included as a precautionary measure to safeguard health. A tested textile product is allocated to one of the four Oeko-Tex® product classes based on its intended use. The more intensively a product comes into contact with the skin, the stricter the human ecological requirements it must fulfill.

FAQs

Some of these sizes aren't listed in my shop. Please feel free to send an Etsy message and let me know sizes, colors, quantities needed and I'll gladly set up a custom listing.

When purchasing a listing that allows you to choose whatever colors you'd like to have, make a list of the color names and type them into the 'Notes to Seller' box that appears in the check-out process. If you don't see the box, just send your list in a conversation (sign into Etsy to do this), or send them to me in an e-mail (feltonthefly@comcast.net).

Yes it is. This quality wool felt can be washed.

Hand-washing results in the least amount of shrinkage (5-10%). To hand wash, place in a sink of cool water. Use a small amount of liquid dish soap. Soak for a few minutes, drain sink, rinse with cool water, roll in a towel to remove excess water and air dry.

Hot water and laundry soap in the washing machine followed by a hot dryer will cause 20-30% shrinkage. Also, the texture will change. The felt becomes thicker and bumpier; not 'pilly', but with more texture. It will no longer be the smooth felt that you started with. It can be ironed out a bit, but will remain thicker.

It's a fact that sheep produce wool. But there are hundreds of different breeds of sheep. Each breed produces a different type of wool fiber. Some sheep's fiber is soft and silky (like Merino), some is stiff and coarse (like sheep from Nepal). Some is curly or thick or short or long. Also, processing methods and types of dye can make a very big difference in the finished product.

We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. We suggest contacting the seller directly to respectfully share your concerns.
